Please join the Pearson community in congratulating Hussain Al Abaichi who was recognized as this past week’s CTV Athlete of the Week. We are very proud of Hussain (a member of the 2016 and 2017 LBP UNITED BB team), his mentor Simar (member of the 2017 Sr. Boys BB City Championship Team) and Mr. Fraser (coach for both young men).

Dr. Gordon Higgins was instrumental in providing “seed” money in 2008 for us to run the Pearson Finance Club. Thanks to him and other donors the club has been in operation for 9 years straight.

Dr. Higgins shared with the club that Exchange Traded Funds(EFTs) is the best investment vehicle to park our “hard earned” money because it requires low maintenance and it’s low cost. this strategy has been proven quite effective in the past 40 years when it was first introduced by John Bogle. Research has shown that “passive” investments beats funds that are actively managed.

We want to share the good news; the Science Fair went well for our two students. Zainab Osman earned Silver and Daniel Asimiakwini earned Honorable Mention. Both students represented Pearson well, took pride in their hard work, and complimented the work of students around them. Couldn’t ask for more.
